Whether you suffer from a serious autoimmune condition like Crohn's disease, want a second opinion on how to manage your IBS, or are simply looking for relief from bloating, my goal is to identify the root cause of your digestive distress, and create a personalized solution for rehabilitation and recovery of your gut - avoiding prescription drugs with harmful side effects whenever possible.

It took 7 doctors and countless conflicting diagnoses before I discovered Dr. Chutkan and her life-changing philosophy. Prior to our initial meeting, my symptoms had become very isolating. After our first session, my transformation was almost immediate. I now have the tools, support, and passion for healthy living, which I owe to Dr. Chutkan and her practice!

Since seeing you I’m a new person. I can now eat a more complex meal without feeling terrible for days after! …my “gut bliss” can truly be attributed to your clinical expertise and support. I recommend that those who have stomach issues make an appointment with you, and, of course, read your books!

Testing

Conventional GI & next generation testing

Colonoscopy

Investigative test of the colon

Colonoscopy looks at the inner lining of the colon and has many uses beyond just screening for colon cancer. It allows us to assess the general health of the colon, identify inflammation, and remove pre-cancerous polyps. Inflammatory states may be visible during colonoscopy (Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis), or microscopic and visible only on biopsies taken during the procedure (lymphocytic and collagenous colitis).

Microbiome Sequencing

Next generation microbiome testing

An easy 1-2-3 step process to understanding your gut bacteria, microbiome sequencing gives you a comprehensive breakdown of your microbiome based on research from the NIH Human Microbiome Project. You’ll learn how your gut microbiota compares with others and will find out how well your gut bacteria metabolizes carbohydrates and over 100 other functions.

SIBO Breath Test

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth

The Small Intestine Bacteria Overgrowth (SIBO) Breath Test is a non-invasive, easy to use, at home gastrointestinal test that detects bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine. SIBO is a common gastrointestinal disorder that often underlies chronic gastrointestinal symptoms of maldigestion and malabsorption, including bloating, gas, diarrhea, irregularity, and abdominal pain.

Intestinal Permeability

Leaky gut test

The Intestinal Permeability (IP) Assessment is a powerful, noninvasive test taken in the comfort of your home that measures absorption and barrier function of the gut. The small intestine functions as a digestive and absorptive organ for nutrients. It also acts as a powerful immune and physical barrier against excessive pathogenic bacteria, food antigens and other macromolecules.
